If you had a shindig at your home and are left with half-drunk glasses of wine and stale beer in cans, there's no need to toss the drinks down the drain. You can pour the leftover vino and beer right into your compost bin. Not only is it biodegradable, your compost will love it -- the drinks are a good source of nitrogen, and the bacteria that break down the organic matter love the yeast in beer.

Instead of buying plastic Easter eggs or using chemical dye kits, you can create beautifully dyed real eggs with natural ingredients and pantry staples you may already have. When boiling eggs to make Easter eggs, add these natural ingredients to get specific hues. For blues, try blueberries and red cabbage. For green, spinach and kale leaves leave a pale, light shade. To make pinks, sliced beets and cranberries get deep, jewel-toned hues. And for yellow, try turmeric spice or the skins from yellow onions. And remember: The vitamin-rich broth you create can be cooled and used to water plants.
